She is also a prominent artist. Her early studies in criminology, psychology, and business allowed her to observe and study people’s behavior and true nature. Yet it was her political background that gave her the opportunity to witness the real challenges people in extreme poverty are facing daily. It’s these genuinely kind and generous people she has met that’s given her a unique way to see the world. Today, reflecting on those moments remains her inspiration.

Sal now uses her art as a platform to voice the complexities of her experiences. Some of her works are available at FDX Online. She is also an artist-in-residence at Rossocinabro Gallery, Rome, and is currently represented by several galleries in Europe and New York.
